File No. 812.00/744.

The Secretary of State to the Mexican Ambassador.

The Department of State received on the 4th instant from the Mexican Embassy a memorandum of the same date, in which it is stated that at Eagle Pass, Tex., it is planned on that day to give expression of sympathy with the Mexican revolutionists, with the view to collecting funds, buying arms and munitions, and gathering together men to stir up disorder in Mexico; and the embassy requests that appropriate instructions be issued, by telegraph, for frustrating the purposes of the Eagle Pass agitators.

In compliance with the embassy’s request, copies of the memorandum were immediately sent to the Attorney General and the Secretary of War, for their information and appropriate action.

Department of State,
Washington, February 4, 1911.
